### Run nats-box Container with Docker

Source: https://github.com/nats-io/nats-box/blob/main/README.md

Launches the nats-box container interactively using Docker. Allows direct interaction with NATS commands like publishing messages.

```bash
docker run --rm -it nats-io/nats-box:latest
~ # nats pub -s demo.nats.io test 'Hello World'
16:33:27 Published 11 bytes to "test"

```

### Run nats-box in Kubernetes (Interactive)

Source: https://github.com/nats-io/nats-box/blob/main/README.md

Deploys the nats-box container in Kubernetes for interactive use. Demonstrates subscribing to a subject and publishing messages.

```bash
# Interactive mode
kubectl run -i --rm --tty nats-box --image=natsio/nats-box --restart=Never
nats-box:~# nats sub -s nats hello &
nats-box:~# nats pub -s nats hello world

```

### Manage NATS Accounts with NSC and Docker Volume Mount

Source: https://github.com/nats-io/nats-box/blob/main/README.md

Runs the nats-box container with a Docker volume mount to persist NSC configurations (accounts, nkeys) on the host. Includes initializing NSC and showing the directory structure.

```bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/nsc:/nsc natsio/nats-box:latest

# In case NSC not initialized already:
nats-box:~# nsc init -d /nsc
$ tree -L 2 nsc/
nsc/
├── accounts
│   ├── nats
│   └── nsc.json
└── nkeys
    ├── creds
    └── keys

5 directories, 1 file

```

--------------------------------

### Deploy nats-box in Kubernetes (Non-Interactive)

Source: https://github.com/nats-io/nats-box/blob/main/README.md

Applies a Kubernetes manifest to deploy nats-box for non-interactive use and provides instructions to exec into the pod.

```bash
# Non-interactive mode
kubectl apply -f https://nats-io.github.io/k8s/tools/nats-box.yml
kubectl exec -it nats-box -- /bin/sh

```
